The dark ruby-colored 2006 Grenache was sourced from 80-year-old vines and aged in French barriques, 10% new. It exhibits an alluring perfume of smoke, spice box, lavender, mineral, and cherry. This is followed by a full-bodied, full-flavored, silky Grenache with layers of savory fruit, superb balance, and a fruit-filled finish. Drink this pleasure-driven wine from 2010 to 2018. Samuel’s Gorge is the project of the talented Justin McNamee.Importer: Dan Philips, The Grateful Palate, Oxnard, CA; tel. (805) 278-9095
